Speaking at the events, the minister said that after the Congress came to power, saris in colours preferred by women, produced in Sircilla and Karimnagar, are being distributed. “Even my own wife asked me for one of these saris, which shows the high quality we are providing,” Vivek Venkataswamy said.
